By Jim Heirbaut, ScienceNOW
For more than a decade, physicists have been developing quantum mechanical methods to pass secret messages without fear that they could be intercepted. But they still haven't created a true quantum network – the fully quantum-mechanical analog to an ordinary telecommunications network in which an uncrackable connection can be forged between any two stations or "nodes" in a network. Now, a team of researchers in Germany has built the first true quantum link using two widely separate atoms. A complete network could be constructed by combining many such links, the researchers say.
"These results are a remarkable achievement", says Andrew Shields, applied physicist and assistant managing director at Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. in Cambridge, U.K., who was not involved in the work. "In the past we have built networks that can communicate quantum information, but convert it into classical form at the network switching points. [The researchers] report preliminary experiments towards forming a network in which the information remains in quantum form."
Quantum communications schemes generally take advantage of the fact that, according to quantum theory, it's impossible to measure the condition or "state" of a quantum particle without disturbing the particle. For example, suppose Alice wants to send Bob a secret message. She can do the encrypting in a traditional way, by writing out the message in the form of a long binary number and zippering it together in a certain mathematical way with a "key," another long stream of random 0s and 1s. Bob can then use the same key to unscramble the message.
But first, Alice must send Bob the key without letting anybody else see it. She can do that if she encodes the key in single particles of light, or photons. Details vary, but schemes generally exploit the fact that an eavesdropper, Eve, cannot measure the individual photons without altering their state in some way that Alice and Bob can detect by comparing notes before Alice encodes and sends her message. Such "quantum key distribution" has already been demonstrated in networks, such as a large six-node network in Vienna in 2008, and various companies offer quantum key distribution devices.
Such schemes suffer a significant limitation, however. Although the key is passed from node to node in a quantum fashion, it must be read out and regenerated at each node in the network, leaving the nodes vulnerable to hacking. So physicists would like to make the nodes of the network themselves fully quantum mechanical—say, by forming them out of individual atoms.
According to quantum mechanics, an atom can have only certain discrete amounts of energy depending on how its innards are gyrating. Bizarrely, an atom can also be in two different energy states—call them 0 and 1—at once, although that uncertain two-states-at-once condition "collapses" into one state or the other as soon as the atom is measured. "Entanglement" takes weirdness to its absurd extreme. Two atoms can be entangled so that both are in an uncertain two-ways-at-once state, but their states are perfectly correlated. For example, if Alice and Bob share a pair of entangled atoms and she measures hers and finds it in the 1 state, then she'll know that Bob is sure to find his in the 1 state, too, even before he measures it.
Obviously, Alice and Bob can generate a shared random key by simply entangling and measuring their atoms again and again. Crucially, if entanglement can be extended to a third atom held by Charlotte, then Alice and Charlotte can share a key. In that case, if Eve then tries to detect the key by surreptitiously measuring Bob's atom, she'll mess up the correlations between Alice's and Charlotte's atoms in a way that will reveal her presence, making the truly quantum network unhackable, at least in principle.
But first, physicists must entangle widely separated atoms. Now, Stephan Ritter of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, and colleagues have done just that, entangling two atoms in separate labs on opposite sides of the street, as they report online today in Nature.
As simple as this may sound, the researchers still needed a complete lab room full of lasers, optical elements, and other equipment for each node. Each atom sat between two highly reflective mirrors 0.5 mm apart, which form an "optical cavity." By applying an external laser to atom A, Ritter's team caused a photon emitted by that atom to escape from its cavity and travel through a 60-meter-long optical fiber to the cavity across the street. When the photon was absorbed by atom B, the original quantum information from the first atom was transferred to the second. By starting with just the right state of the first atom, the researchers could entangle the two atoms. According to the researchers, the entanglement could in principle be extended to a third atom, which makes the system scalable to more than two nodes.
"Every experimental step had to be just right to make this work," says Ritter, who works in the group of Gerhard Rempe. "Take, for example, the optical cavity. All physicists agree that atoms and photons are great stuff for building a quantum network, but in free space they hardly interact. We needed to develop the cavity for that."
"This is a very important advance," says Toshiba's Shields, because it would enable technologists to share quantum keys on networks where the intermediate nodes can't be trusted and could also lead to more complex multiparty communication protocols based on distributed entanglement. "However," Shields cautions, "there is still a great deal of work to be done before the technology is practical." Miniaturization of the components that constitute one node will no doubt be on the researchers' wish list.

Kami… thin, flat, and open,
Full of infinite possibilities.
Soft, artistic hands, wrinkled with wisdom,
Ready to embark on the ancient practice,
Polyhedra past lives from countless directions,
Converge at vertices, wisdom aggregated…
Some from afar, some more recent,
All treasured and unique.
Shapes emerging from folds
Are more than merely decorative,
Honoring the magic of tradition and ancestry,
Lineage too precious to ignore.
If the soul could be seen
Beyond its aura,
Would it not resemble
The art of origami?
Each a different shape
Of noble complexity,
Every one carefully crafted with
Purpose and foresight.
Ever marvel at the symmetry
And scope captured in each crease?
At the same awesome spectacle
Of life's journey?
An ancient art
practiced to perfection,
Mimicking our sacred paths,
Recorded before time.
April is National Poetry Month. We wanted to celebrate with a poem authored by Brian MacDougall called Origami Soul.

Hi there,
Having an idea but not sure how to implement. Couldn't find out where to start the editing, since it seems to be non-theme-engine-specific. The problem: Since I am using keyboard shortcuts or the decoration buttons to close/shade/minimize windows, I was asking myself, if it is possible:
1. to remove the 'close' and 'help' buttons on the bottom of the settings manager window and others to save screen space
2. to implement the 'back' button in the window decoration on top of the window.
xfce4 on debian testing
Thanks for answering
Overwhelmed by answers. As I found out until now, not defined in gtkrc or anywhere else in the them. Is there a workaround or do I have to alter the source? Someone carry the legacy of xfce knowledge? Come on.
I too have never come across anything that would allow you to customize this dialog. I think you're looking at modifying the source code if you want that done.
EDIT: Source code here.

Campsite Wedding Inspiration and Location
Originally, I'd imagined our wedding would be super small – only the two of us and a few extremely close family members. However, once the news was announced on Facebook last spring…we were both totally overwhelmed with all the happy congratulations we received. Particularly the message we got from a couple of really amazing friends from New Zealand who said they couldn't wait to come back to Canada for the wedding! It got us thinking that it would be pretty nice to throw a ridiculously awesome party for all our friends and family.
This meant we had to find a suitable venue to hold all these lovely people…while not breaking the bank. We're pretty set on having a thoughtful, personal, creative wedding while still maintaining control of the budget. We're still quite young and because we traveled a lot and generally "lived the life" for much of our early 20's we're both just now getting fully established in our chosen careers. Furthermore, it's no secret that we reside in a pretty pricey little town. At this point Adam & I are currently renting the home we live in.
As Adam and I began to discuss our priorities, we came to the conclusion that we'd much rather eventually put a ton of cash towards some property, rather than this one day of our lives. There will certainly be a few areas of the event that we will happily splurge on…hello poofy cocktail party dress! Food! Drinks! Photography! However overall, we opted to be pretty thrifty which has forced us to pull out our thinking caps in order to come up with some unique non-budget-looking concepts…all along I have been positive that with a bit of creativity and elbow grease this is possible. As we approach our last few months of planning and preparations things are looking good!
The Canadian Rockies are a huge international wedding destination so there are of course endless amazing venues catering to weddings of all sizes here in the Bow Valley. Right off the bat, I want to make it clear that I make a really great [& fun!] living by being involved in the wedding industry as a photographer. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the beautiful and lavish events put together by the couples I work with. If an affair like that suited our personalities and lifestyles, we would have absolutely found a way to make it happen. However, we're much more of the outdoorsy/quirky/DIY/rustic kind of couple. Ultimately, we've decided on a wedding at a campsite close to home – Lower Lake group site in the beautiful Kananaskis Valley.
It does sound a bit ghetto…I suppose it is. But, it's totally us! And I have a vision. Meters upon meters of Christmas lights. A retro camping trailer. Vintage vases and mason jars. Local flowers. S'mores & banana boats. Custom made dotted-tulle sweetheart neckline a-line cocktail-length poofy dress. [Umm…can you tell I have a vision for this dress? In my opinion, outfits are always important, but this one happens to be an especially important ensemble.] A keg of our preferred NBC beer. A help-your-self cocktail bar featuring a few of our favorite drinks. Campfire. Family. Friends. Recycle, Reuse. Local. West Coast seafood and regional Alberta beef BBQ. An eclectic play list from my very music-smart sister & her fiance. And a killer tarp city courtesy of Adam's family. Hailing from the rainy West Coast of Canada, I hear the in-laws can set up one heck of a tarp.
The initial inspiration board:
{my apologies, I am unsure where all of these images came from}
I've always loved vintage colored glass so when we started planning the wedding, I knew that would be the one decor item I would absolutely want to feature. I already had a decent collection and gathered a bit more in anticipation of the wedding. When Adam's mother got wind of this, she and a couple friends set off and scoured garage sales and antique stores all over Vancouver Island. The collection is now extremely impressive – it's grown exponentially since these photos were taken. We've now got 50+ unique vessels and scads and scads of mason jars.
Flowers seriously are NOT a priority to me, I'd be quite happy to see the vases empty! Many of my family members are very devoted gardeners and couldn't imagine a wedding without flowers. My Aunt Marian and Uncle Lloyd have generously offered to plant ton of extra seeds and bulbs this summer in order provide homemade arrangements to go in all of my beautiful glassware. All of a sudden I am excited about flowers! It will be such a thoughtful and meaningful […not to mention free!] part of the decor. I know that my family members will be so proud to have supplied the florals. I'm especially excited because it doesn't get much more regional and sustainable than this.
We won't be setting up formal tables and place settings. Just picnic tables scattered throughout the site. We've also encouraged guests to bring along their own lawn chairs. From my experience, I find that the dinner hour can often be quite static, I'm hoping that without a seating plan guests will be encouraged to mingle around throughout the whole evening. We've got a very interesting guest list – lots of random little clusters of very social and chatty people, but no big groups of friends, so it will be all about the meet-and-greet throughout the course of the event. The site:
A very charmingly "rustic" picnic shelter in case of horrendous weather. This is the extent of our contingency plan.
We love these peaks.
It's certainly out in the boonies.
We just recently celebrated our one year "engagiversary" so we've had a really hefty engagement and we're well into the planning process…but still have lots to do! I'm excited to share what we've already completed and learned as well as our current projects.

Social media
Acceptable use policy
PIAS may use social media outlets, which we invite the public to follow us on.
Most online communities have their own rules and guidelines, which we will always follow. We reserve the right to remove any contributions that break the rules or guidelines of the relevant community, or any of the following:
- Be civil, tasteful and relevant.
- Do not post messages that are unlawful, libellous, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented or racially offensive.
- Do not swear.
- Do not post content copied from elsewhere, for which you do not own the copyright.
- Do not post the same message, or very similar messages, more than once (also called "spamming").
- Do not publicise your, or anyone else's, personal information, such as contact details.
- Do not advertise products or services.
- Do not impersonate someone else.
Please take care not to make defamatory statements. In law this means a statement that lowers the reputation of a person or organisation in the eyes of a reasonable person. By publishing such a statement we can both get into serious trouble. We will therefore take down any statement that could be deemed to be defamatory.
Our approach to connections on social media
PIAS may choose to 'follow', 'like' or otherwise establish connections with other organisations and individuals using social media. This is so that PIAS can maintain contact with what other social media users are saying and, where appropriate, share their content. Sometimes we also need to establish a connection so that we can engage with users, e.g. via direct messages or posting. This is an emerging area of communications and as such PIAS will review and amend its practice continuously.
PIAS does not implicitly or explicitly endorse any individual or organisation merely by virtue of creating a social media connection; regardless of the terms used by social media providers such as 'follow' or 'like'. Indeed, PIAS will maintain social media connections with organisations that are critical of it and/or have opposing views. Nor does PIAS hold any responsibility for the content of such profiles.
Once connected, PIAS will not remove a profile from its network unless there is some over-riding reason to do so, e.g. because it poses a significant and material risk to PIAS's reputation and credibility.
It is not possible to be prescriptive on what would pose such a threat and each case will need to be consider on its own merits.
Contacting us via social media
Our responses to replies, comments and direct messages depend on the individual service. Even if we do not reply, we are listening and will act on or pass on your comments as appropriate. You may also like to contact the service directly.
Please note that unless stated otherwise the views/comments given on any of our social media sites may not necessarily reflect the views of PIAS.

A university lecturer in Nigeria is facing a humiliating dilemma in his marriage.
Suraju Oyekunle, said to be a teacher at the Lagos State University (LASU), Lagos, is fighting hard to save his 13-year old marriage to Kafayat who has not only been unfaithful to him, but is pregnant for another man, according to a news report published by P.M.Express newspaper.
The real complication, however, is that Mrs. Oyekunle has openly confessed to being in love with the intruder, whom she said she preferred to spend the rest of her life with, the report said.
Interestingly, the intruder, Fatai Alimi, is a bricklayer.
The paper reported that Mrs. Oyekunle, 36, packed out from her matrimonial home in October when her husband travelled out of town, and then moved in with Mr. Alimi, her new lover, who lives in the same Igando community where she and her husband lived in Lagos.
She said she prefers the bricklayer's smaller apartment to her husband's house, and she took along with her a 12-year-old son she had for her husband.
Mr. Alimi, 34, was said to have been arrested by the police, and arraigned in court on Thursday for conduct likely to cause breach of peace, after the woman's husband lodged a complaint against him.
He pleaded not guilty before a magistrate, who granted him bail in the sum of N25,000. He was remanded in prison custody pending his meeting the bail conditions.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Oyekunle has vowed to do all she could to secure freedom for Mr. Alimi.
While in court to bail Mr. Alimi, Mrs. Oyekunle reportedly said she left her marriage because she and her husband were unable to get another child during their 13 years in marriage, and that the husband was not taking good care of her.
She said she became pregnant for her new lover a few months after they met, and that with him, she was now living in peace.
Mrs. Oyekunle said that her bricklayer lover, despite his low social status, was better off than her husband of 13 years in everything.
She said her family remained in support of her relationship with Mr. Alimi, the bricklayer.
Mr. Alimi is scheduled to appear again in court on December 12.

Summary and Keywords
The atmospheric circulation in the mid-latitudes of both hemispheres is usually dominated by westerly winds and by planetary-scale and shorter-scale synoptic waves, moving mostly from west to east. A remarkable and frequent exception to this "usual" behavior is atmospheric blocking. Blocking occurs when the usual zonal flow is hindered by the establishment of a large-amplitude, quasi-stationary, high-pressure meridional circulation structure which "blocks" the flow of the westerlies and the progression of the atmospheric waves and disturbances embedded in them. Such blocking structures can have lifetimes varying from a few days to several weeks in the most extreme cases. Their presence can strongly affect the weather of large portions of the mid-latitudes, leading to the establishment of anomalous meteorological conditions. These can take the form of strong precipitation episodes or persistent anticyclonic regimes, leading in turn to floods, extreme cold spells, heat waves, or short-lived droughts. Even air quality can be strongly influenced by the establishment of atmospheric blocking, with episodes of high concentrations of low-level ozone in summer and of particulate matter and other air pollutants in winter, particularly in highly populated urban areas.
Atmospheric blocking has the tendency to occur more often in winter and in certain longitudinal quadrants, notably the Euro-Atlantic and the Pacific sectors of the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, blocking episodes are generally less frequent, and the longitudinal localization is less pronounced than in the Northern Hemisphere.
Blocking has aroused the interest of atmospheric scientists since the middle of the last century, with the pioneering observational works of Berggren, Bolin, Rossby, and Rex, and has become the subject of innumerable observational and theoretical studies. The purpose of such studies was originally to find a commonly accepted structural and phenomenological definition of atmospheric blocking. The investigations went on to study blocking climatology in terms of the geographical distribution of its frequency of occurrence and the associated seasonal and inter-annual variability. Well into the second half of the 20th century, a large number of theoretical dynamic works on blocking formation and maintenance started appearing in the literature. Such theoretical studies explored a wide range of possible dynamic mechanisms, including large-amplitude planetary-scale wave dynamics, including Rossby wave breaking, multiple equilibria circulation regimes, large-scale forcing of anticyclones by synoptic-scale eddies, finite-amplitude non-linear instability theory, and influence of sea surface temperature anomalies, to name but a few. However, to date no unique theoretical model of atmospheric blocking has been formulated that can account for all of its observational characteristics.
When numerical, global short- and medium-range weather predictions started being produced operationally, and with the establishment, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, it quickly became of relevance to assess the capability of numerical models to predict blocking with the correct space-time characteristics (e.g., location, time of onset, life span, and decay). Early studies showed that models had difficulties in correctly representing blocking as well as in connection with their large systematic (mean) errors.
Despite enormous improvements in the ability of numerical models to represent atmospheric dynamics, blocking remains a challenge for global weather prediction and climate simulation models. Such modeling deficiencies have negative consequences not only for our ability to represent the observed climate but also for the possibility of producing high-quality seasonal-to-decadal predictions. For such predictions, representing the correct space-time statistics of blocking occurrence is, especially for certain geographical areas, extremely important.

SMF - Just Installed!
Aye or we could end up in the middle of these two uncontrolable hoards with nothing but spit balls to fire back at them.
Ok so that's the Ninjas sorted, So what shall we do about the big,mean RPG armed gorillas?
I'd like to start or join a special forces group. Kinda like the Splinter Cells from Tom Clancy, only a team that works together. Standard Splinter Cell equipment, such as a Five seveN, combat knives, grenades, and SC 20-K will be provided for all who wish to join, along with free Krav Maga lessons. SCUBA and pilot's license is a must. Each person will have a small personal plane that will carry them, their equipment, and fuel only. I could submit some designs that I've made. Also, I seriously have a tank that uses the engine from one of those skidsteers*. This team is slightly different from ninjas, by the way.

Artist Profile: Heather Phillipson
The latest in a series of interviews with artists who have a significant body of work that makes use of or responds to network culture and digital technologies.
Heather Phillipson, immediately and for a short time balloons weapons too-tight clothing worries of all kinds (2014). Image courtesy the artist and Bunker259.
When I saw your recent solo exhibition, immediately and for a short time balloons weapons too-tight clothing worries of all kinds, at Bunker259, I curled up in an inflatable birthing pool to watch a video suspended from an engine hoist. The video depicted a series of domestic, public, and online spaces, with a voiceover from you. At one point, you leaned over the camera and appeared to give me a facial. I broke down in laughter because it suddenly became clear that I had become a participant. When you show Zero-Point Garbage Matte, you use a similar strategy: the viewer climbs up a ladder and looks down on the monitor to view the video, a position that is reflected in its content. Which idea comes first, the video or the physical participation of the viewer?
The video usually precedes its final sculptural form, but not always. With the video suite I'm working on at the moment, for example, I have a really clear idea of what will be going on around it. Regardless, I produce multiple "versions" of each installation, so the video ends up inhabiting quite different physical structures at different times. It's like a built-in contrariness mechanism—the capacity to change the context, and therefore the work, and my mind. But, in general, the one constant is how the viewer is con/figured in relation to the video. So, with immediately and for a short time balloons weapons too-tight clothing worries of all kinds, as you mention, the viewer is recumbent with the video overhead. The video deploys regular POV shots alongside dispassionate observations, and mixes interior monologue with direct address, so there are these shifting perspectives. You're the eye/I of the camera, or its eye is turned on you…positions get conflated. For me, the physical relationship between body and screen is crucial to this formulation, although the rationale might only be revealed sporadically. It's a bastardised literary device, that semblance of inhabitation and activation—one minute you're in first person then second person or third person, then slapped back into first.

Animated GIF via dump.fm
LH: For as long as I've been familiar with your work—starting on dump.fm in 2010—you've been incredibly prolific. Back then, you were creating and sharing abstract animated GIFs. I remember you would post hundreds of variations on a single shape. I see that kind of preoccupation, or obsession, come up again and again in your work, with the Phone Arts series, the Microsoft Store Paintings, and most recently, the Sheryl Crow Pandora Paintings. These expansive projects create a sense of repetition, ultimately a smooth rhythm, which appears to be so continuous as to not have a beginning or an end. Can you describe the process for coming up with these projects? How do you distinguish the individual pieces?
MM: I don't like to take any single piece too seriously, I want to work on something without the pressure of it being perfect. I think people discount producing a lot of work because they connect it to feed culture like it's more important to produce massive amounts of content for tumblr or instagram or w/e but that's not really what I'm trying to do. I think it's more interesting to like shit out a bunch of work in a natural way whether it's through a rhythm that you just stumble upon or if you see a jpeg on dump and you're like "loloolllollll pssssssh what in the even fuck ommmmmg" so you have to like rework it 50 times because you're obsessed with it, and then step back after you make this massive body of work and say to yourself "what is all that about dude?", than if you try and distill an idea into one perfect piece you've over thought to death. When you try and make a piece fit a preconceived concept it feels like graphic design, you have the message and the content you're just trying to solve how to effectively communicate that through the work and I don't want to work like that.

Virginia ranked 98th nationally last season in sacks, among the reasons the Cavaliers fired their defensive coordinator and defensive line coach. The program's most recent commitment for the 2014 recruiting class might well improve that tepid pass rush.
Andrew Brown, rated the nation's top defensive tackle by Rivals.com, pledged Saturday afternoon to Virginia during an ESPN online chat. A 6-foot-3, 298-pound rising senior at Chesapeake's Oscar Smith High, Brown chose the Cavaliers over Virginia Tech, Alabama, Clemson and Florida State.
Brown's relationship with head coach Mike London was pivotal.
"My heart already told me when I went up there (to campus unofficially)," Brown said at his ESPN announcement. "I felt like I could trust Coach London."
Brown is Virginia's ninth commitment, the second Rivals five-star from Hampton Roads, joining Bayside defensive back Quin Blanding. He made his decision without taking any official campus visits.
"I'm just ready to end the process," Brown told Rivals prior to his announcement. "I don't really have time to be getting stressed out, especially when I know in my heart where I want to go."
Brown also is weary of chatter about outsiders steering him to Virginia.
"Everybody talks about how I'm being influenced by people around here to go to Virginia. I'm really getting tired of that," he told Rivals. "It's my decision, it's my life and I'm going where I where I want to go because I feel comfortable there. …
"I feel like I can really trust Mike London and his decision making. I think that that if all of the top recruits in Virginia and the 757 went there, we could turn that program around."
The Cavaliers endured their second 4-8 season in London's three years in 2012, prompting a staff overhaul that included the departures of defensive coordinator Jim Reid and defensive line coach Jeff Hanson. London hired veteran coordinator Jon Tenuta, a Virginia graduate, to replace Reid and moved linebackers coach Vincent Brown to the defensive line.
Brown is Virginia's second recent commitment, joining tight end Evan Butts of Episcopal Academy in Newtown Square, Pa. He chose the Cavaliers over the likes of Boston College, Pitt, South Florida, Army and Navy, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Brown transferred to Oscar Smith from Southeastern District rival Indian River prior to his junior season. He bruised a knee during the season and didn't start a November playoff victory over Bayside, but when his backup was injured, Brown strapped on a brace and played.
Oscar Smith is a haven for major college prospects. Jaylen Bradshaw, a 2014 receiver, has committed to Virginia Tech, where former teammate J.C. Coleman is a running back; ex-Tigers Tim Smith and Zack Jones are receivers at Virginia. Jones' brother, Perry, was a productive running back for the Cavaliers.
Commitments are not binding until February's national signing period.

Fairfield swimwear designer again makes splash in SI's swim suit issue
For the 14th consecutive year, Fairfield-based Letarte Swimwear Inc. has made it to the promised land of bikini designers -- the pages of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
In the magazine's 50th anniversary edition, which hit news stands last week, supermodel Heidi Klum appears in a Letarte creation the designer calls its "Covers Suit" -- but not because it covers very much of Klum's figure.
Letarte designed a fabric with images of all 50 SI Swimsuit covers printed on it. The designer commissioned a company in Portugal to produce the nylon/spandex fabric with the images woven into it, then made suits from it, Letatre spokeswoman Carolanne Ghee said.
Lisa Letarte Cabrinha -- who with her sister Michelle Letarte Ross owns the company -- designed the "Covers" fabric and three suits made from it, a pair of bikinis and a one-piece suit.
Klum appears inside the magazine wearing one of the bikinis.
The other bikini is on the cover of a 50th anniversary coffee-table book released in October, "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit / 50 Years of Beautiful." That likely will have far longer shelf life than this year's magazine.
Images of Klum modeling both bikinis and the one-piece suit are on the SI website, Ghee said.
Even if you or a significant other has the shape to wear a Covers Suit, you won't find it in retail shops or at Letarte's annual warehouse sale, according to Ghee. The three suits were made only to be photographed for the magazine and coffee-table book.
The 40-year-old Klum both wears the fabric and appears on it, Ghee noted. An image of the German-born model's 1998 SI cover shot is woven into the fabric.
Also seen on the fabric are two Letarte designs that made SI covers:
On the 2013 cover, model Kate Upton wore a Letarte white, mesh bikini.
On the 2005 cover, model Carolyn Murphy showed off a Letarte red-beaded bikini.
While Letarte designed the "Covers" suits and submitted them to SI, the magazine staff chose Klum to model one of them.
"I can't even tell you how excited I am that I get to wear the suit with all the beautiful covers that Sports Illustrated has ever done," Klum said in a news release issued by Letarte.
Published by Time Inc., SI says its swimsuit edition reaches 62 million adults, a growing number of them women who view the edition as a fashion publication. Forbes magazine reported females account for about one-third of readers.
Letarte's headquarters are on Carter Henry Drive, a block off Post Road in a bland, concrete-block building that faces the Metro North Railroad tracks. The site is in stark contrast to the company's products, which include high-end swimsuits and other beachwear.
The company has six of its own retail stores, including one in Greenwich, and its designs are sold in more than 400 other retail outlets worldwide.
The Letarte sisters grew up in New Hampshire and founded the company in 2000 after working in other careers.
Lisa Letarte Cabrinha is a former professional wind surfer who lives in Maui, Hawaii, and is the company's chief designer. Michelle Letarte Ross, whose business background is in fashion and marketing, is the company president and based in Fairfield .
Ross lasted year said the privately owned company's annual sales were under $10 million.

Skin color is a significant factor in the probability of employment for male immigrants to the United States, according to a new study by two University of Kansas (KU) researchers.
Social scientists have long argued documentary films are powerful tools for social change.
But a University of Iowa (UI) sociologist and his co-researchers are the first to use the Internet and social media to systematically show how a documentary film reshaped public perception and ultimately led to municipal bans on hydraulic fracking.
Do police treat religious-based protest events differently than secular ones? Drawing on data from more than 15,000 protest events in the United States (1960 to 1995) and using quantitative methods, we find that law enforcement agents were less likely to show up at protests when general religious actors, actions, or organizations were present. Rather than reflecting privileged legitimacy, we find that this protective effect is explained by religious protesters' use of less threatening tactics at events.
Recent scholarship highlights the importance of public discourse for the mobilization and impact of social movements, but it neglects how cultural products may shift discourse and thereby influence mobilization and political outcomes. This study investigates how activism against hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") utilized cultural artifacts to influence public perceptions and effect change. A systematic analysis of Internet search data, social media postings, and newspaper articles allows us to identify how the documentary Gasland reshaped public discourse.
The article discusses alternative wedding ceremonies staged in urban spaces as a statement of protest among immigrant couples that cannot marry in rabbinical courts, because they are not recognized as Jews. These public weddings are organized and sponsored by the Fishka association of young Israeli adults of Russian origin.
Research documents that lenders discriminate between loan applicants in traditional and peer-to-peer lending markets, yet we lack knowledge about the mechanisms driving lenders' behavior. I offer one possible mechanism: When lenders assess borrowers, they are implicitly guided by cultural stereotypes about the borrowers' status. This systematically steers lenders toward funding higher status groups even when applicants have the same financial histories.
We argue that the mismatch between data and analytical methods, along with common practices for dealing with "messy" data, can lead to inaccurate conclusions. Specifically, using previously published data on racial bias and culture of honor, we show that manifest effects, and therefore theoretical conclusions, are highly dependent on how researchers decide to handle extreme scores and nonlinearities when data are analyzed with traditional approaches.
To comply with ideals of multiculturalism and diversity, postsecondary institutions incorporate Latino students into distinct campus cultures. These cultures influence how students interact with one another, the university community at large, and communities outside of campus, ultimately shaping how students inhabit Latino politics. Drawing on data from 20 months of ethnographic fieldwork with six student organizations and 60 in-depth interviews, I compare Latino student organizations in a liberal arts college, a research university, and a regional public university.
This article contests the contention that sociology lacks a sound theoretical approach to the study of race and racism, instead arguing that a comprehensive and critical sociological theory of race and racism exists. This article outlines this theory of race and racism, drawing from the work of key scholars in and around the field.
What is the relationship between white children's interpretations of racial phenomena and dominant racial ideology? Do children passively adopt dominant racial ideological positions, the result of a "deep cultural conditioning" that happens to children? Do kids assertively challenge ideologies, rejecting adults' authoritative worldviews through enacting child agency? Or is something more dialectically complex occurring that includes both reproduction and reinvention?

Corel PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate Review: A Low Cost Photoshop Alternative
- Editor's Rating
- Top drawer photo editing at relatively low price
- Easy for beginners to use
- Extensive filter effects
- Availabe for Windows only (not Mac)
- You must be online to view complete instruction guide
- It isn't Adobe Photoshop
If you're interested in buying new photo editing software, are there really any other good options out there except for Adobe Photoshop? Actually, there is one, and it's Corel's PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate. As we'll see in this review, while Corel's product is not Photoshop, it is a highly worthy (and a much lower cost) alternative.
When it comes to photo editing software, there's an 800-pound gorilla in the room with "shop" in the name. It isn't Corel's PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate, reviewed here. The gorilla is made by Adobe, and it's called Photoshop. Photoshop is very expensive, and it's the industry standard. I can report, though, that the much less costly PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate combines powerful photo editing and design features that are comparable to Photoshop's with easy-to-use filter effects and photo management features you won't find in Photoshop.
The retail box version of PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate comes with two DVDs, one containing the main program and the other a set of filter effects and other frills that distinguish the Ultimate version, at $99.95 list, from the regular version, list priced at $79.99.
I installed PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate on a relatively humble Acer Aspire One mini-notebook running Windows 7 with an AMD-50 processor (dual core, 1-GHz) and 2 GB of RAM. This barely met the system requirements, but the program installed and ran almost without a hiccup.
When you first launch PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate a splash screen appears indicating that this is actually version 15 of the program. I was delighted to find that the software does not first try to organize your entire photo library. Instead, it very politely asks which file types to associate with the application, the suggestion being "none," which I accepted.
Then, a pop up window tells you that you must register for the Corel Community to read the onscreen Corel Guide. This is similar to the way the Corel VideoStudio Pro program works, and it's one of the only drawbacks, especially if you install the program onto a computer that does not always have Internet access. But most users will probably consider this complaint to be minor, and there are plenty of onscreen tips and instructions available offline even without the full guide.
Three main tabs along the top of the screen let you choose between Manage, Adjust, and Edit, with the program opening on the Manage tab showing what's in the "My Photos" folder. A "Browse More Folders" option lets you choose different directories to look through. A very cool dual monitor mode, accessible from the View menu, lets you keep the Manage tab open all the time on one screen, while using Adjust or Edit on the other.
In the single-screen Manage mode, the selected picture appears in the middle while others in the directory appear filmstrip-style along the bottom. On the right of the screen are windows for Info about the selected photo (such as which camera it was taken with, location information, etc.) and "Instant Effects," pictured in one of the screenshots at right. (To see expanded views of screenshots, please click on the images.)
Dozens of effects are listed in "Instant Effects," including effects for black and white, artistic effects, film styles, landscapes, portrait (skin tones and effects), retro, traditional, and "user-defined."
As soon as you apply an effect, the program asks if you want to save a copy of the unmodified original photos, which you should definitely do so you have a backup in case you don't like your changes. There is an undo button available for these effects, although it's hidden in the Instant Effects menu. It's labeled "revert current editing," and it gets rid of all the applied effects all at once. You can't remove them one at a time.
The photo management options along the bottom strip are also extensive. These include face recognition software which lets you locate photos of the same subject, as well as organize photos by time period or location. You can also share photos or albums with online services such as Facebook, Flickr and Google+. You can either upload full resolution or reduced resolution versions of the photos.
Where To Find the Photo Editing 'Basics'
The Adjust tab is where you'll find what most beginners would consider the guts of photo editing: adjusting brightness, contrast, colors, cropping, etc. A histogram appears in the upper left corner of the screen mapping red, blue, and green light in the image.
A simple but very useful drop down list of presets in the crop menu lets you change cropping free form, as most other photo editing programs do. However, it also includes several aspect ratio presets, such as 16 x 9, square, and 3 x 5. These are quite useful if you're planning to print the image or use it as part of a video production.
A tool called "Smart Photo Fix" suggests adjustments to the image. I tried this on a few images but I really didn't like these suggestions all that much. More useful, I thought, was the Fill Light/Clarity adjustment here, which lets you adjust sharpness and change the brightness of the background while leaving the main subject untouched. (That's their definition of fill light, not a photographer's!)
More sophisticated adjustments here include digital noise removal, local tone mapping (grouping blocks of pixels together and creating high contrast effects), and high pass sharpen (adjustable sharpening). A red-eye removal tool is also on hand. An Edit drop down menu lets you undo each adjustment, as well as quickly revert back to the original.
When it comes time to save the modified image, PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate offers dozens of file types, including of course all the familiar ones like jpg, tif, bmp, etc. Corel also offers its own format, which retains all the editing information so you can continue working on an image. Also offered are several Macintosh-compatible formats. Most significantly, however, the all-important psd Photoshop file format is included, which means you can be compatible with the rest of the world.
Speaking of Photoshop, it is the third Edit tab where the full power of PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate becomes apparent, and where comparisons to the 800-pound gorilla become relevant. This is where you'll find Photoshop-style layers, including all of the previously mentioned effects and adjustments and a zillion more, as well as a titling tool, shape tools, freehand drawing tools and brushes, and much more.
Among many other noteworthy features, the familiar Magic Wand tool from Photoshop is present here, allowing you to quickly select irregularly shaped objects within an image. Unfortunately, this was the one hiccup I experienced. The program crashed the first time I used the Magic Wand, though when I re-launched the program and tried it again the Magic Wand worked fine. just like the Photoshop version. (Also, in fairness, as I finished testing and shut the program down I was informed that an update is available; I have no idea whether this update would have prevented the crash.)
The options in the Edit section are many, organized into menus labeled Adjust (as previously described, plus more choices like smart photo fix, depth of field, and chromatic aberration removal); Image (includes rotations, borders, resize, color depth, grayscale, and watermarking); Effects (such as photo effects, 3D effects, artistic effects, distortion effects, edge effects, geometric effects, illumination effects, image effects, reflection effects, and texture effects); Layers (vector layer, raster layer, art media layer, and mask layer), and Objects. The choices in Objects let you align objects vertically or horizontally, make them the same size, arrange them, and convert text to curves.
Changing People's Facial Expressions
The adjustments and creative options here are so expansive that it's very hard to imagine why you'd need Photoshop, other than for bragging rights, for professional purposes, or if you only own a Mac. (Unlike Adobe Photoshop, PaintShop Pro X5 is available for Windows only.)
The second installation disc adds three separate items, each requiring a separate installation. These include NIK Color Efex Pro 3, FaceFilter Studio 2, and Ultimate Creative Collection. The NIK Color Efex shows up at the bottom of the Effects menu as a plug-in. (This takes a bit of figuring out.) It then launches as a separate program with its own wide variety of effects, such as fog, glamour glow, Polaroid transfer, pastel, and many, many more. After you create an effect, the image transfers back into the main PaintShop Pro program.
The FaceFilter Studio 2 installation requires a separate serial number, which is provided with the disc. This installation is rather slow, but of course, the speed depends on which optical drive you're using.
FaceFilter Studio 2, a completely separate program, lets you change people's facial expressions. You set four points on a photo of someone's face, and then you can choose from a wide array of expressions such as smile, cool, confident, kind, angry, and so forth. The program makes subtle adjustments to the eyes and mouth to achieve these results.
The Ultimate Creative Collection takes the longest time to install, and perhaps adds the least. It consists of stock photos, brushes, and textures which can be used with the main program.
PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate has two big advantages over Photoshop: a lower price and easier-to-use modes for beginners who might be intimidated by working with layers. PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate is a versatile, pro-quality full-featured photo editing program which even demanding, experienced Photoshop users will find perfectly capable. It crashed once on my underpowered mini-notebook during many hours of testing, but other than that I can find very little here on the down side.
The current version of Photoshop CS6 for Windows lists for $699 from Adobe. At just $99.99 list price — discounted to $79.99 on the Corel web site when we went to press with this review — PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate is an extraordinary value. Free trials of the downloadable version of Corel's top-of-the-line photo editing package are available on the Corel site.

I wanted to scan patterns to create pages for a journal I want to make. I want this hand-made journal for my Life Story that I plan to write. It's an offshoot of my weekly Sharing Memories blog posts here on Olive Tree Genealogy. Right now it's an idea glimmering in my brain. It's not well thought out, but I do have a sort-of kind-of plan on how I plan on creating my journal with beautiful hand-made pages which I will make.
Usually when I do project like this, I create the entire thing first, then I share it here on Olive Tree Genealogy blog. But this time I thought it would be fun if others joined me! Of course you can use your journal for anything you want! As a diary. As a Life Story book. As a Sharing Memories book. Those are just a few ideas for a hand-made journal.
So if you have a Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner, and you'd like to create your own journal (for yourself or for gifts), why not grab it and find some patterns in your home that you might be able to use. (If you don't have a Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner you really should get one)
It will also be really helpful for us to share our ideas -what works and what doesn't work, as we go along. You might figure out the solution to a problem as we create our journals. Or you might find a great pattern that others can duplicate. For instance I know that my white lace tablecloth makes an amazing pattern but I forgot to scan it so I'll pull it out and get that done before I make any final decisions on which of my scanned patterns I will use for my journal pages.
I've already scanned over 40 patterns (32 are shown below) and I've printed off about 10 that I like for the pages of my journal. Take a peek at the patterns below and let me share with you a few of the ones I really like for my pages.
Oh, and where you see the word "REDO" as part of the file name, it means I didn't notice the dog hair or crumbs or specks of dirt and dust until I'd finished scanning! So I have to rescan after I do a little cleanup. So I can already give you a tiny word of advice - be sure what you are scanning is free of dust, dirt, lint, pet hair and so on! Unless you like the abstract and real feeling to your pages if you've scanned in some cat or dog hair, then by all means keep it natural.
If it weren't winter in Canada I'd have gone outside looking for more patterns to scan - the gravel in my garden, an old pot, the wrought iron patio table, the welcome mat, the birch tree bark... I bet I could find lots! I'll be interested to know what my readers find outside if you choose to accept my challenge to join me on this project.
I've decided to create pages using light beige and white patterns. Some of the patterns above are too small for you to see the great designs on them so I'm going to show you a few below as larger images.

How to Scan Patterns with Your Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner
Here I am scanning the patterned fabric of an antique parlour chair in my living room.
Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner black cleaning cloth. Hold the scanner very steady if you are scanning a wall or ceiling.
You can see the end result of the scan in the first image of the thumbnail patterns at the start of this blog post. It is called ChairYellowPattern.jpg and is in the second row, first on the left.
Don't worry about anything else right now except finding and scanning patterns. These will be the basis of your journal pages. You might do more than just print them off later as pages so keep an eye out for darker patterns and different patterns that you might add as borders to your scanned pages. I've got that part figured out in my head (sort of) so we can play around with that idea later.
This is going to be fun! I hope you'll join me for this project. As soon as I create my pages, I'll be posting again.

RIM's Secret Weapon for Reviving BlackBerry: HTML5
BlackBerry World, Research In Motion's once-a-year event to evangelize its brand, kicks off today in Orlando, Fla. Most of the attention will focus on the coming BlackBerry 10 software, the backbone of RIM's coming suite of smartphones. RIM's future depends greatly on BB10, but there's another software factor that's playing a large and growing role in the company's strategy to recover: HTML5.
One of the many problems that RIM is facing is that its current phones are a dying platform. The current software, BlackBerry 7, is the last major release of the operating system before the company transitions to BB10 (which is fundamentally different) this fall. The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet runs a version of the same software that BB10 is based on, but it's not quite the same.
In short, RIM's pinned its hopes on software that no one outside of the company has seen or used, although that's expected to change this week. With so much uncertainty in RIM's software picture, you'd expect that BlackBerry developers would be heading for the exits, or at least switching to "wait and see" mode for most of 2012.
But that's not the case. RIM vice president of developer relations Alec Saunders revealed in a recent blog post that app development is going like gangbusters on BlackBerry, with a 21% increase in smartphone apps and an enormous 240% jump in PlayBook apps submitted (though all those weren't necessarily approved).
The number of apps in BlackBerry App World is now 70,000, and although that's small potatoes when stacked against the mobile titans of iOS and Android, it's still probably a lot more than you thought. Saunders says the beginning of 2012 was the "single best quarter" for developer growth in RIM's history.
What's going on here? For starters, RIM has been doing a full-court press in evangelizing its app platform ever since the PlayBook came out last year. A big part of the book RIM's preaching however is about HTML5.
Put simply, HTML5 is a way to create apps so they'll run in a mobile browser — pretty much any mobile browser. HTML5 lets developers create apps without having to worry so much about what device is running it. However, it also means the app is limited by the browser it's running it, and it can't really take advantage of the benefits of the device's operating system.
RIM's put a lot of effort into nullifying those kinds of limitations. For example, it's created a toolkit where a developer can create an app in HTML5, then essentially put it in a "wrapper" so it'll run natively on the PlayBook, thereby getting around the browser issue. The toolkit also has features that let apps take advantage of RIM's BlackBerry Messenger service.
To be fair, these kinds of tools exist on other platforms (such as Android) — Brightcove's App Cloud service is based on similar app wrappers — but RIM is throwing much more support behind HTML5 than the other major platform operators: Apple, Google and Microsoft.
That makes complete sense, since right now RIM needs all the developers it can get if it's going to have any hope of reversing its slide and getting back into the smartphone game for real — even if that means sacrificing full-fledged native apps and encouraging developers to use tools to create apps that will also work with competing platforms.
But what will happen to RIM's app strategy when BlackBerry 10 arrives? We hope to get some idea this week in Orlando. RIM may have intended HTML5 to be a stopgap until the real-deal BB10 apps arrive, but the campaign appears to have taken on a life of its own and could play a major role in the platform for years — assuming RIM's still around, that is.

Yum! Autumn leaves ice-cream sandwich cookies... Aren't those look fantastic?
September is just around the corner and you can definitely catch the glimpse of fall in Pacific Northwest. I am still not ready for the cool weathers though after the late summer. That is my excuse to add a scoop of ice-cream to my early fall cooking today.
Cookies are one of the easiest and fastest things to make. However, there is a special secret to this leaves cookies. It has a handtouch of the nature! Simple, cheap and fun!
Pick a large old leaf with distinct veins- I picked a leaf from my hydrangea flower. Simply, use the leaf as a cookie print. Then, use a cookie cutter to create a leaf piece. My cookie recipe is simple with using less butter (I always cut from the butter from all the online recipes I use) and with a little bit of cinnamon.
I hope my little, simple recipe brought you some inspiration inside or outside of the kitchen. Have a fantastic month of September and enjoy the last day of the August my lovely readers...

An infinitive is to plus a verb form. It can be used as an adverb. Examples: to be, to see, to be seen, to be eaten.
Adverb infinitives are used to modify verbs. They usually tell why. Adverb infinitives are used to modify predicate adjectives. They may also be compound.
An infinitive phrase is made up of an infinitive and any complements (direct objects, predicate nominatives, predicate adjectives, or modifiers.) An infinitive phrase that comes at the beginning of the sentence is always followed by a comma and modifies the subject of the sentence.
Instructions: Find the infinitives or infinitive phrases in these sentences and tell what word they modify.
1. The inspector came to check the dam for leaks.
2. Fred finally went to work.
3. Paul arrived in New York to study physics and to learn more.
4. Are you old enough to drive?
5. The new soldiers were ready to listen and obey.
--For answers scroll down.
1. to check the dam for leaks modifies the verb came
2. to work modifies the verb went
3. to study physics/to learn more modify the verb arrived
4. to drive modifies the predicate adjective old
5. to listen/(to) obey modify the predicate adjective ready

07 July 2006
We've managed to secure a bit of a scoop on Dennis Publishing's new enterprise IT website, IT PRO. Here's everything you need to know:
IT PRO will go live in mid-July, focusing on news, reviews, group tests and features for UK business IT users, budget holders and decision-makers.
IT PRO is staffed by Editor Chris Green, who recently joined Dennis from VNU's Computing, and News Editor Iain Thomson, who joined from VNUNet.com. A third member of the editorial team has just been recruited and will be introduced shortly.
In addition to the in-house editorial team, IT PRO has pulled in an array of freelance support to populate the site's eight news and review-driven sections.
Three of these sections -- storage, security and mobile -- will be edited by well-known IT writers Ambrose McNevin and Guy Matthews. Marcus Austin, the former editor of Internet Works and the UK edition of Business 2.0, will provide content on business intelligence and internet. Alan Stevens, a regular contributor to PC Pro will cover the server and networking markets. The remaining channel, Applications, will be managed in-house.
Channel editors will be filing around four or five news stories in each section every week in addition to producing a number of features, comment pieces and tutorials on topical technologies and IT issues.
Additional news coverage will be generated by IT PRO's in-house news team, with support from freelance news stringers in key overseas markets including the US, Australia and China, and from Reuters.
Reviews will play a major role at IT PRO, with the site providing more standalone enterprise reviews and group tests than any other UK title, and Green himself will oversee the commissioning of reviews. IT PRO will cover software, hardware and services for enterprises with some focus on SME solutions at the larger end of the market. This strategy will ensure that IT PRO and PC Pro minimise any overlap in coverage.
Video and audio will also play a major part in IT PRO's editorial strategy. The site will go live with a number of high-profile video interviews with leading figures in the business IT world, along with video product first looks, video opinion pieces, and a weekly news-in-review audio podcast. New product first looks will be added on a Monday, new interviews on a Wednesday and a new podcast every Friday.
So there you have it...sounds like a recipe for success to us.

Sounds like, ummm, yet another IT web site to me.

Yes, there are a lot of IT web sites, but they vary widely: some have tiny audiences, some huge. The ones that getting the hits tend to be the ones that invest in the editorial and Chris Green in particular has always struck me as a very strong operator. And Dennis get right far more than they get wrong. With relatively low costs, this is likely to have legs.

Congratulations on the, er, scoop -- which appears to be a word-for-word rehash of a story that appeared on Fullrun 10 days ago.
A scoop of the ctrl-c/ctrl-v variety perchance?

That's a very serious accusation...I can assure you, little fella, that there was no plagiariam involved. We got the story straight from the horse's mouth.
If that same horse gabbled to Fullrunner a week or two ago then fair enough...but we didn't nick the story.
- 11:37 am
Il Cavalier has been called many things in his long life. Sadly, I must tell you that "little fella" is not one of them.
And yet. . . I can see that you are growing weary beneath the burden of my posts.
You sound serious when you say you are not a plagiarist. And so I accept your heartfelt words. Let us mend the breach and go forward as true friends.
Now, as your friend, I must tell you that I still wonder who the plagiarist might be.
For it remains passing strange that entire paragraphs -- nay, vast gobbets -- of your story were the mirror image of those published by Fullrun.
Do you think that you have been the victim of some magick practised by persons unknown to you?

Il Cavalier, there's really no mystery here...we were provided with the content for our post by the Editor of the new website himself!
It seems that any cutting and pasting done was undertaken by the lad Green...in our defence, we'd asked for information from him on June 28th, but he only got round to sending us something(clearly, we now realise, the same something the Fullrun received, cheeky monkey) a few days ago.
Apparently 'things are a bit mad' because he's 'launching' something.
- 1:12 pm
Il mio amico,
Thanks for the candour.
I think you'll find that Fullrun...
* did the reporting
* didn't take any copy from Chris,
* and originated most of the copy that ended up published 10 days later without credit on this blog (apart from the editorialising about "dream teams" and such).
Chris (or whoever's working with him) does indeed seem to be a cheeky monkey, admittedly a busy one. (By now, however, he should have appointed a PR agency, which is good news...)
As for Dennis's relationship with Fullrun, well I'm sure Chris will continue to receive the Fullrunner...
. . . and that Fullrun will view this as positive endorsement of their quality product ;)
You know, World's Leading, you really should think about a subscription (if you haven't already got one)... Less hassle for everyone, really.
Ah, the highways and byways of blog relations ... funny old world, eh?
[Cough, splutter cough. . . exit stage right...]
Il Cavalier

- ....the world's leading.... said...
Well, glad we've got that sorted out. I think.
And we'll happily endorse Fullrun...stick this on your website:
"Fullrun is quite simply our first - perhaps only - reference point for all things technology and media related in the UK. It's got to be the world's leading...thing...and if we're ever stuck for something to write ourselves, Fullrun's our first port of call. If people weren't so kind as to send us their own copies, we'd be sorely tempted to subscribe."
The World's Leading
- 3:00 pm
No two ways about it, your "endorsement" raised a belly laugh here in the office...
That world's leading schtick is fantastic because it's unanswerable. You should TM it right away.
Seriously though: You make a fair point about the pass-on readership for The Fullrunner, our email newsletter.
We monitor it (we've got an excellent idea of who our biggest fans are), and it's massive.
So far, it's been a great marketing exercise. We've also persisted with the full-text approach because it's the best way to do email newsletters.
Fairly soon, though, we'll be replacing the full text of our stories with links that revert to the subscriber part of the site.
At that point, who knows, perhaps your soreness will become unbearably tempting. . .
[And now, with the world bored rigid, I probably ought to get back to work...]

Wow - another IT web site! And staffed by such high flyers of the journo world. I bet El Reg is quaking in its boots.

Will it compete with the Reg? I don't think so! IT PRO looks far more like it'll compete with the likes of Techworld in the first instance.

Dortmund hopeful of repeating Madrid scalp
Friday 12 April 2013
Article summary
A European champion with Borussia Dortmund in 1997, Lars Ricken believes their group stage success against Real Madrid CF can breed confidence for the clubs' semi-final.
Article top media content
Article body
Borussia Dortmund picked up four points from their two group stage meetings with Real Madrid CF this season – but defeat by the Merengues in their last UEFA Champions League semi-final appearance, in 1998, means the Bundesliga side are seeking revenge of their own.
Dortmund topped Group D, ahead of Madrid, thanks partly to a 2-1 victory over José Mourinho's team on matchday three. They will come up against the Liga champions again in the last four, with the first leg scheduled for the BVB Stadion on 23 April. Even the following week's return to the Santiago Bernabéu will not daunt Jürgen Klopp's men, who earned a 2-2 draw in the Spanish capital in November.
Borussia did not fare as well in their most recent UEFA Champions League semi-final, however, when as European champions they suffered a 2-0 aggregate reverse against Madrid. "It has been 15 years since we were in the semi-finals of the Champions League," said Lars Ricken, a member of those Dortmund sides and now the German club's youth team coordinator.
"It shows the development of the team. We have already proved we can beat Real Madrid this season, and that is why we are strongly hoping we can reach the final of the Champions League again. We also want some kind of revenge, because in 1998 we met them in the semi-finals and lost. Well, I wouldn't really say revenge, but we want to prove ourselves."
Klopp echoed Ricken's sentiments, pointing out that while the nine-time European champions represent a high hurdle, they were "the only team left in the draw who we have already beaten this season". Similarly, the sides' recent history did not escape the attention of Madrid sporting director Emilio Butragueño. "We have a lot of respect for Borussia Dortmund," he said. "We played them twice but didn't manage to beat them. This time we hope it will be different as we want to be in the final – that's what we are all dreaming about.
"We know their potential and how difficult it will be to stop them. It's a great motivation for us all – there is one step left to reach the final that we at Madrid have been waiting for for several years. We have to take this great opportunity and I have no doubt the team will be in top condition to make it to Wembley. We know how difficult it's going to be, but we know that if the team play to their best then we will certainly have a chance."
